Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web:
"When I invented the Web, I didn't have to ask anyone's permission. Now,
hundreds of millions of people are using it freely."
Internet is a playground for experimenting, an environment that fosters
innovation. You experiment, you invent. There is no need to ask
Tim Berners-Lee, your Internet provider or anyone else. Anyone having a talent
can develop an innovative application. This is why we have Internet companies
like Google, eBay, Amazon and Facebook, just to name a few.
However, there are telecom monopolies like Bell and Rogers, who do not see the
Internet in the same way. They want to stop neutral Internet in Canada.
Telecom monopolies want Internet to be like TV: you are not an active
participant of the society but a sheeple who swallows everything thrown at you.
Entertainment cartels like RIAA and MPAA, who sued countless innocent people
around the world like this too. Telecom monopolies negotiate deals with the
entertainment cartels, and everything else is slowed down to unusable state
or blocked altogether.
Telecom monopolies want Internet to be like cell phones. They want it to be
expensive by the minute and have multi-tier pricing. Want to do something beyond
getting news and weather from "old" media? Pay more! Want to get news from
independent sources? Pay more! Want to blog, watch videos on Youtube or talk on
Facebook? Pay even more! Now, you have to have the approval from Bell, Rogers
and the like if you want to use innovative applications freely. If they do not
like the application you are using, it will be crippled.
Big telco monopolies along with the multinational entertainment cartels want to
decide where, when, how and who uses the Internet.
But it is not too late. You can do many things to help the cause.
